Album of the Month: March 2023

Call it hyperbole, but I could comfortably argue that March 2023 has been the greatest month for music in my life so far (with only February 2022 acting as any competition). Never before have I heard so many newly released albums within a single month that I’ve loved so much, with some of the most […]

Album of the Month (February 2023)

February 2023 was an exciting month for music, with some extremely impressive, high-profile releases dropping. Some of my favorite records of the month include Paramore’s pessimistic post-punk revival masterpiece This is Why and the triumphant neo-psychedelia of Young Fathers’ Heavy Heavy. Ultimately, though, the best album of the month was easily Caroline Polachek’s Desire, I […]

Album of the Month: January 2023

In surprising contrast with how most years generally begin, January was an excellent start to 2023 in terms of music. This month, I heard some of the most exciting music I’ve encountered in a while, including the surreal neo-psychedelia of Lil Yachty’s (yes, you read that right) Let’s Start Here. and Margo Price’s pastoral heartland […]

Album of the Month (December 2022)

December 2022 rounded out an incredible year for music with a final month of exciting, energetic releases. I really loved the futuristic electropop on Lexie Liu’s The Happy Star, as well as Rural Internet’s heavy industrial hip-hop on SAINT ANGER. However, neither record blew me away as much as the introspective emo rap of brakence’s […]

Album of the Month: November 2022

November 2022 continued this year’s streak of amazing music, with some of the most forward-thinking, exciting releases being dropped this month. I was especially impressed with the triumphant East Coast hip-hop of Nas’ King’s Disease III and Astrophysics’ introspective coldwave on HOPE LEFT ME. However, neither of these albums matched the sheer emotional impact of […]

Album of the Month: October 2022

October 2022 was another exceptional month for music, with some of the catchiest releases of the year dropping this month. I was particularly impressed with the bittersweet house on Actual Life 3 (January 1 – September 9 2022) from Fred again.. and Noah Kahan’s introspective singer-songwriter on Stick Season. However, no other release came close […]

Album of the Month: September 2022

September 2022 was an excellent month for music, with some of the most catchy and well-written projects of the year being released. In addition to the new Bladee and Freddie Gibbs albums (which I highly recommend!), my favorite music of the month included the eclectic indie rock of Alex G’s God Save the Animals and […]

Album of the Month: August 2022

August 2022 was a mixed bag as far as music goes. While the month did give us arguably the worst album of the year thus far in the form of Panic! at the Disco’s hedonistic pop rock train wreck Viva Las Vengeance (perhaps only tying with 2 Chainz’s Dope Don’t Sell Itself from February!), it […]

Album of the Month: July 2022

July 2022 was a very exciting month for music, with some of my most anticipated releases of the year dropping. From the technical prog-rock on Gospel’s EP MVDM: The Magical Volumes Vol. 1: The Magick Volume of Dark Madder or the Magic Volume of Dark Matter to the boastful dance-pop of Beyoncé’s RENAISSANCE, much of […]

Album of the Month: June 2022

June 2022, in terms of music, was a slight improvement over past months, offering a multitude of enjoyable, if largely insignificant, releases. Two of my favorite records from the past month include Post Malone’s hedonistic pop on Twelve-Carat Toothache and the anxious power pop of Weezer’s SZNZ: Summer EP. Ultimately, though, the release I found […]
